Watercolor Palette

thingiverse

A watercolor kit that holds half-pan solid watercolor pigments that can be found at any art supply store. It also has mixing pans and slots for retractable watercolor brushes. Designed using OpenJSCAD.org Latest Source code for model is here: https://github.com/mscherotter/wcpal Post-Printing Use construction marking flags for hinge Cut construction marking flags (found at hardware store) to length for hinge pin. A strand of 1.75mm PLA filament will also work as a hinge pin. I am looking into methods to keep the hinge wire from falling out. How I Designed This Design process Starting out with a design in my journal, I created a quick model using 3D Builder, the free 3D Modeling software on Windows 10. Wanting to try something new, I used the online design tool OpenJSCAD.org to design a parametric-defined model. Here is an example of how I rounded the corners: // Generate a quarter-round used to radius the edges (4mm radius) function corner() { return color("white", cube({ size: [4, 4, 140] }) .translate([0, 0, 0]) .subtract(cylinder({ r: 4, h: 140 })) .rotateY(90)); } and then I subtract the corner from the model after rotating it: model.subtract(corner().rotateX(-90)) Initial design in my journal Buidling the design in 3D Builder as a first draft.
